Catholic ping!
The creation of additional "penumbras" within the First Amendment.
It seems to me after the S Ct’ s previous ruling state courts were falling over themselves to redefine marriage, and the homosexualist position was well on its way to winning. Why is this new case even necessary?
—Does the United States Constitution require states to allow members of the same sex to marry each other? Does the Constitution require states to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married in another state?—
I guess that depends on whether the Supremes think the Constitution is a ‘living document’ or an enduring document (as Judge Scalia correctly points out).
Not optimistic about the ruling.
Or maybe the Dred Scott v. Sandford of marriage.
Not much at stake — just marriage, family, children and society.
I heard 60 percent of evangelicals under 30 support gay marriage.
Parents, teachers, preachers and judges — you have failed.
Miserably.
What’s at stake? The final closing of the coffin lid, informing me that America has become a completely degenerate nation. A nation I’ll no longer find worth mourning over, as it continues its slide into decay and eventual demise.
Please bear in mid that gay marriage is a 17th Amendment (17A)-related issue. More on this later.
"Does the United States Constitution require states to allow members of the same sex to marry each other? Does the Constitution require states to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married in another state?"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay rights. So the corrupt media is arugably begging activist justices to put on their "magic classes” and find the so-called “right” to gay marriage hidden somewhere in the Constitution.
Regarding 17A as it relates to gay marriage, please consider the following. If 17A had never been ratified then there would probably all different faces on the Supreme Court at this time, probably state sovereignty-respecting justices with family values.
And not only would I expect God-fearing justices to say the same thing about gay marriage mentioned above, but patriots wouldn’t be concerned that activist justices would try to legalize gay marriage from the bench because their wouldn’t be any activist justices on the bench.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
Why do I suspect that Roberts and Kennedy will vote pro-gay?
Kennedy's cocktail calendar;
Roberts' adopted kids and their safety;
I can imagine there are more...
Several state governors will whine piteously, but will end up bending the knee to Satan.
Naturam expellas furca, tamen usquet recurret.
Hebrews 13:4
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
The black robes will do whatever their political handlers tell them to do.
The answer: A VERY sharp turn to the LEFT.. and one that most of the American public deep-down do not subscribe to spiritually.
My point: If the SUPREME COURT rules in FAVOR of gay marriage then the TRADITIONAL, long standing MODEL will be collapsed. This will in turn means that the door is then open possibly to Polygamous unions with MANY participants.
Some even feel that the pedophiles will attempt to claim some type of territorial validity using such a Supreme Court decision favoring gay marriage.
America has a 239 year old marriage model, that's been working just fine, but is about to be DESTROYED by a "politically correct" minded Supreme Court.
Stand by for yet another TURD dropped into the punchbowl.
This is my worry. That this decision will shove SS marriage down the throats of all Amerricans the way abortion has been. And, that 40-50 years from now, we are still going to be arguing about this and at each other's throats. I am hoping that the Court has learned something, and will say it is up to the States to decide their marriage laws.
As for being recognized by other States; if the other State does not recognize SS marriage, then perhaps you and your "partner" should move to one that does.
I think it will do damage to society.
When marriage becomes a gay parade, heterosexual men will lose all respect for it. This will result in a loss of respect for women. Without respect for women, there is no respect for family and children. They go hand in hand.
It is amazing that we have a pope who is encouraging the demise of his own church.
